Beaumont police are looking for two men who robbed a woman at gunpoint Thursday night.

Officers were called to the 700 block of Fifth Street just before 7 p.m., where a 51-year-old woman told them she had just been robbed. The woman said she had just parked her car at her apartment complex when two men came up to her and pulled out handguns, asking for money and other personal belongings.

When she told them she had nothing to give, one of the men took her car keys and another demanded that she give him two rings she was wearing, saying he would kill her if she didn't comply, according to police reports.

After rummaging through her car, the men left running southbound on Fifth Street toward Calder Avenue, she said.

The woman described both suspects as two black men, one light-skinned and the other dark-skinned, in their early 20s or late teens, about 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall.
